My patch would take some time (also it would edit some core files and only if the patch goes into the core, then only your theme would be functional if you apply the patch) – so you need not wait for that.

So what happe ned to this project? Is it still going on? Seems the links are dead, and there has been no real response for over a month. Wouldn;t mind seeing the TwentyTen theme for bbPress before I do my own today.
